MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — In Milwaukee County Court on Monday, 33-year-old Maxwell Anderson pleads not guilty for the murder of Sade Robinson.
Court Commissioner Barry Phillips granted Anderson’s request to waive his preliminary hearing and proceed to trial.
Monday’s court appearance was Anderson’s first since body parts were found along Lake Michigan last week. He was arrested on April 4, two days after someone found Robinson’s leg at a park in Cudahy.
Prosecutors say the 19-year-old Robinson was killed sometime after the two went on a first date on April 1st. A motive remains unclear.
April Bentley was one of several people who attended Monday’s court hearing on behalf of Sade Robinson’s family. She spoke with Fox 6 Milwaukee.
“This gentleman, I believed moved very calculated through the city. And was intentional about where he placed the body parts, the car setting it on fire. And just getting on the bus as if it were just an ordinary day. Even though the family wasn’t here, I stand in the gap,” said Bentley.
Anderson returns to court on May 16 for a scheduling conference.
